We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Nickel-cadmium Batteries",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Engineeringtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Website redesign eases battery choices from
Industrial Batteries (UK), which we summarised at the time by saying "IBLUK's principle battery applications are covered by a range of downloads which give information on the application and the battery requirements".
Several months prior to that,
we featured the news release Batteries back up Parisian tram systems from
Saft Batteries: "The new Paris tram is equipped with nickel-cadmium batteries optimised for reduced maintenance".
In February 2006, we covered the news from Saft Industrial Batteries
concerning its Nife nickel cadmium alkaline battery
- take a look at Old batteries brought back to life
which says: "Industrial nickel-cadmium batteries uncovered in the engine house of an old steam-powered water pumping plant have been restored to full working order".
Take a look also at the news release from Saft Industrial Batteries, Batteries help Spain move to high-speed trains,
as well as Airbus specifies batteries for transport aircraft from Saft Batteries,
and High-technology batteries cut maintenance needs from Saft Industrial Batteries.
